How to Refill Your Favorite Kiehl's Products for a Sustainable Skincare Routine

At Kiehl’s, we’re committed to making sustainability easy and accessible. Our refillable skincare solution is designed to help you reduce waste while enjoying the products you love. Here’s a simple guide on how you can participate in Kiehl’s refill revolution and refill your favorite products.

Refilling your reusable containers is an important step in reducing waste and protecting the planet's natural resources. The production of new plastic containers uses a significant amount of energy and raw materials, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. By refilling your containers, you help reduce the demand for new plastic production, which conserves resources and minimizes your carbon footprint. By choosing refillable products, you are joining a movement to create a more sustainable future for skincare and the environment.

One way that we are working to achieve our mission is by introducing refillable products and packaging. This helps save resources and energy in production. Some of Kiehl’s favorite products are now available as refill pouches.

Steps to Refill Your Kiehl’s Products:

Refilling your Kiehl's product is easy and helps reduce your environmental impact.

Our refillable pouch can refill your 50ml jar up to 3 times, reducing your plastic usage by up to 61%. Follow these simple steps to refill your gel cream and help us move toward a more sustainable future:

 

1. Prepare for Refilling: Place both the empty gel-cream bottle and the refillable pouch on a stable surface.
2. Insert the Nozzle: Carefully align the nozzle with the opening of the empty gel cream bottle. Make sure it fits snugly to avoid any spills.
3. Transfer the Cream: With one hand on the refill bottle and the other on the empty bottle, gently squeeze the refill to transfer the gel cream. Continue until the empty bottle is full.
4. Recap the Bottle: once the transfer is complete, securely place the cap back onto the refilled gel cream bottle. Make sure it is tightly sealed to avoid any spillage.

The Benefits of Refilling and Renewing Your Beauty Products

Kiehl’s makes it easier than ever to maintain your skincare routine while supporting a more sustainable future. By choosing to refill and renew your favorite eco-friendly skincare products, you not only enjoy top-tier skincare but also contribute to environmental conservation. Here are the key benefits:

Reduce Plastic Waste: Refilling helps to significantly cut down on single-use plastic waste. By reusing your original containers, you minimize the need for new plastic packaging, reducing the amount that ends up in landfills and oceans.

Promote a Circular Economy: Kiehl’s refill initiative is a part of our commitment to a circular economy. Refilling and renewing your products ensure valuable resources remain in use longer, creating less waste and supporting a sustainable production cycle.

Eco-Friendly Beauty Routine: Incorporating refills into your beauty regimen is a simple yet powerful way to make your skincare more eco-conscious. Each time you refill your favorite product, you're making an environmentally friendly choice that contributes to a healthier planet.
